I just keep them aside, in a safe place (but don't throw away), for me to be able to reach out for future references. I also buy another book since now I will have one un-read book less in my arsenal. I do not ever run the risk of being without a new book to read.

I don't usually buy books that I'm not going to keep, unless it's something like a paperback novel for vacation or something. Most books I have are for reference and learning purposes, and I refer to them often. Paperback novels I usually just either give to my friends, relatives, or my adult kids.

When i buy a book it doesn't take me long to read them. I read the last two harry potter books in 10 hours with no breaks. I took it to tea with me and everything. I don't like to throw them away if i can help. Most of my books on my bookshelf i have read once. I can't throw them away because they mean so much to me so i place them on my bookshelf. I have so many now my bookshelf is full and i have to put them into draws. And it makes my sad if books arn't in good condiition because books are magical.....^^

yes i definatly don't throw them away i let my friends borrow them and all sometimes i don't seem to get them back. lol. but i definatly can go threw a bokk fast. not in 10 hoursa with teh harry potter ones but in a few days. some times i won't be in the mood to read for a wek or more so it might take longer.
